Default Options for polished (or chrome) front rotors?

Hi All,
I'd like to get some rotors that look better than the stockers. What are my options using the same brake hardware? Any SE parts available? Any advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

I rolled with just polished stainless rotors. They flow with the spokes yet don't look stock. I used stock pads up until last week, then changed them to Lyndall Golds.

Raceface, are your rotors from KCI on Ebay? My son is wanting to go 60 spoke 18's with the same looking rotors, just looking for feedback on the polished rotors, they look identical. Are you using Kevlar pads too?

Ive been looking at them as well, you can buy two for less than Harley sells for one. They do recommend not using Harley brake pads.

Yes they are the ones on eBay. Much cheaper than HD's rotors. I've got about 2000 miles on them and no issues whatsoever. I went with the Gold pads last weekend but havent ridden it yet to see how everything works.

You should be able to find someone local to polish your stock rotors. Usually cost about $30-40 per rotor. They are stainless and look great after polishing.

True, but he wants the rotors to somewhat match the spokes.

Tulsa, is that exchange for stock to stock style?
